Fann Mountains, Mountain range in northwestern Tajikistan.
The Fann Mountains extend between the Zarafshan Range and Gissar Range, featuring approximately one hundred peaks with several exceeding 5,000 meters in elevation.
The mountain range developed approximately 60 million years ago through tectonic processes during the collision between the Indian and Eurasian continental plates.
Villages scattered throughout the Fann Mountains maintain traditional ways of life, with residents preserving ancient customs and offering visitors opportunities to experience local hospitality.
Access to the mountains typically begins in Panjakent, with the optimal visiting period spanning from late June through mid-September when weather conditions support outdoor activities.
The Seven Lakes system, known as Haftkul, contains distinct bodies of water connected by the Shing River, each displaying different mineral compositions and water colors.
